Biography
Arhab Firman was born on 3 June 1940 in Nazareth, Mandatory Palestine, United Kingdom to a Palestinian Muslim family. Firman and his family were forced to flee to the Golan Heights in Syria during the Palestinian Civil War of 1947-48 and the Israeli War of Independence from 1948-49, and Firman became involved with Palestinian organizations in Syria. Given support by the Syrian government, Firman and a few other Palestinians were involved in border raids into Israel as a part of "Group 17", their commando organization. One raid in 1964 failed, and Firman was forced to flee to Damascus. There, he joined the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and became a logistics chief and military leader.

In 1986, Israel's Mossad held him responsible for the Munich Massacre, claiming that he planned the operation, a claim which he opposed. On 22 August 1986, Firman was assassinated by two Mossad agents with a bomb planted in his car in the city of Sofia, Bulgaria, where he was in hiding.
